Premarket Power Move
Premarket Power Move is an intraday research tool that tracks what happens after strong premarket or opening gaps.
📊 Core Idea
• When a stock opens +X% above the prior close, it often attracts momentum traders.
• This script measures whether the stock continues to follow through higher or instead fades back down within the first trading hour.
• It calculates:
• The probability of a post-gap rally vs. a drawdown
• Average and maximum retracements after the surge
• Event-day hit rate (how many days actually triggered the condition)
🎯 Use Cases
• Identify “gap-and-go” opportunities where strong premarket strength leads to further gains.
• Spot potential fade setups where early enthusiasm quickly reverses.
• Backtest your intraday strategies with objective statistics instead of gut feeling.
⚙️ Features
• Customizable thresholds for premarket/open surge (%) and follow-through window (minutes).
• Marks the chart with reference lines:
• Prior close
• Surge threshold (e.g. +6%)
• Intraday high/low used for probability calculations.
• Outputs summary statistics (probabilities, averages, counts) directly on the chart.
🔔 Note
This is not a buy/sell signal generator. It is a probability and behavior analysis tool that helps traders understand how often strong premarket gaps continue vs. fade.
